How I Knew…

I saw the light in your eyes when you spoke about your dreams. Money and prestige. Power and things. I saw the motion in your hips when it was brand new. When the wrapper was freshly sealed, the newness was all for you. There was a change in your octave. There was rise in your smile. That’s how I knew you were excited. That’s how I knew what you valued. That how I knew I didn’t mean as much. As things. That’s how I knew.
